Surface preparation as applied in the process of refurbishing containers:: the Selection and Use of Abrasive blast cleaning equipment

Abstract

Surface preparation—Reasons and Methods To determine the reason why we prepare the metal surface, we first consider the end result we wish to achieve. Exposure to the elements will rapidly corrode metals and lead to destruction by erosion, particularly in salt‐laden air. We must, therefore, bond on to this surface a complete barrier to external destruction by means of a protective coating. (We do not ‘paint the boxes’, we apply a protective coating).
